    This is a smooth little coin with honest wear, but otherwise nice. The nice thing is that it has just enough left to attribute as S-64 R5-.
    the usual way of attributing this with a higher grade coin is the lack of a fraction bar; however, this one is too far gone for that. There is a secondary way though. The split of locks on the obverse narrows down the possibilities, but our common friend Obverse 32, usually seen on the common S-65 is a great candidate. The die crack through the D on the reverse identifies it as the S-64 with a high degree of certainty.

    Good luck guys.

    ps Where visible, dentils line up above letters consistent with Reverse GG (S-64).

    Thanks Marshall - have not had time to double check it, but going to track this one to see if it stays cheap.

    Not really at this point. I killed my budget on the IHC and bust half I won. Plus there are a couple I want in the current heritage auction that ends in about 15 to 18 days.

    I killed mine on the DNW Conder token sale back on the 5th. But the coffers are replenishing and Friday is payday again.

    On the other hand there will be a dealer at the Indiana State show next weekend who will have some more Conder tokens to put me into debt for another couple months.

    Oh well it's only money.
